    One man, so many questions.

    First off, why are the rear calipers like twice the price of the fronts?
    Does anyone know where to get a hand brake cable besides the dealer?
    Will rims off a ford focus fit the pro? They are steelies with winter rubber, I need them to pass safety. I just blew a tire last night but it was **** anyway.

    I'm sure there is more but I can't think right now.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    the rear calipers also have the ebrake mechanism on them.
    you should be able to get the cable from any parts store, check rockauto.com
    no our wheels are 4x100 theirs are 4x114 i think

      4x108. if you can get them cheap enough might be able to round them out slightly just to pass safety. I wouldn't do it though, but I've seen it done.

        I'll have to pass on the wheels then. There is a guy at work selling them for 200 so I thought I would check first.

          Are the steering knuckles the same on all BGs?

            I don't know about the 4wd, but on the 2wd they are different. On the pro the dx(9' brakes) and lx(10' brakes) spindles are different. The lx are different depending on year. 90-93.5 and 93.5-94 iirc. The later has a beefier ball joint. The earlier is the same as a egt and the later is the same a 3rd gen ford escort.

              Alright, thanks man. I have to replace a wheel bearing on the GT. So I was gonna take them off the SE, replace the bearings then put them onto the GT. But if they aren't going to work then I'll have to do something else.

                Does the g series transmission use the same reverse switch as the f?
